The question is not clear. Are you sure you mean Print Processor _ maybe you meant to say Print Spooler. The question would make more sense then. Perhaps explain what you are trying to do.

how can i set print processor data type into EMF using C#.net code?

I cannot understand it. "EMF" may mean "Emhanced Metafile", or what?

Enhanced MetaFIle

Okay, and what about that? Do I have to pull information from you, line by line? You are the one who needs some help...
Why, why printing anything on the WMF?...

because i can only read emf file type related spool file data. so when i print any file in windows 7 or 8, it'll send raw format file to server for printing. but i didn't read that format. for that i need to change that raw format into emf before printing. so i'm going to write the code in C#.net.
could you please provide me the solution for the above scenario?

or how to convert raw spool file format data into Emf format using C#.net console application?

if you know, please provide me the solution.

thank you

it means print processor

You need to read what a print spooler does and what a print processor does. A print processor takes spooled emf files as input so it does not need anything else "set" to emf. I suggest you explain what you are trying to do.

if you print any file in Windows 7/8, then the default print processor as "winprint" and datatype as "RAW" in print server. so i need to change that RAW into EMF datatype. for that i'm going to write an exe using C#.net code.

goto your printer location, select printer properties, select advanced tab, click on print processor, in that print processor and it's data type.

You probably need to use the API.

Specifically EnumPrintProcessorDataTypes[^] to list the data types the printer supports and then use SetPrinter (with PRINTER_INFO_2[^] structure) to set the .lpDataType to your chosen one.
